You know how every movie has a tagline – A line that a character in the movie says that is the exact name of the movie? Then it all makes sense, I look for those moments when I watch movies and sure enough, someone is going to say a line that does just that! Well in this book Fighting for The Soul of Your Child – A key takeaway:

But fighting for the soul of your child isn’t about being a good parent raising a good kid. It’s about being a godly parent raising a godly kid. You can’t be godly without God.

When we engage in battle we need to be prepared. As believers we put on the armor of God – Ephesians 6:10-18 NIV

The Armor of God

¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. ¹¹ Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. ¹² For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. ¹³ Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ¹⁴ Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, ¹⁵ and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷ Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

¹⁸ And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

My Thoughts

When I first started my parenting journey, I remember how critical it was and still is for me to instill Biblical principles, morals and values through teaching, training and discipling my children. Parenting is a challenging but a rewarding journey and with a little help along the way it makes it easier to navigate!

I would always ask – is there a parenting manual to use that has helpful tips and resources? This book is a great resource to help you raise Godly children, with helpful information, tools, scriptures and impactful insights. With all of the distractions and a million different voices and opinions it is easy for anyone to get lost in all the noise.

I am thankful that we not only have the Bible as our main source of foundational principles to instill in our children, but we have a helpful resource written by parents for parents!
